Pajama day activities

Homeschoolers don’t always get pajama days at school, usually because many of us wear pajamas every single day. Still, there is nothing like celebrating the right to wear pajamas, particularly on the Festival of Sleep Day, which comes around every January 3rd. Want to celebrate with some fun pajama day activities?
